Should you feed that cuddly cub Probably not
A neighborhood orphaned black bear cub drawn to a resident’s handouts illustrates why feeding wild animals is risky. Wildlife officials warn most rescues stem from human interference and can turn the animal into a nuisance or fail without a parent. Wild creatures belong in the wild, and intervention often harms long term survival.
Late nesting may hold key to state waterfowl success
A May US Fish and Wildlife Service survey shows mixed wetland and duck trends across the prairies. Prairie Canada hosts 56 percent more ponds than 2004 and 17 percent above long term averages, while May breeding duck totals about 31.7 million, unchanged from last year though mallards fall 9 percent. Late spring rainfall could reshape fall seasons, with potential for either restricted harvest or strong hunting if late nesting boosts production. effects on pintails are positive but scaup concerns persist as habitat shifts hit western boreal nesting.

Deep watering helps trees survive stress of hot months
Deep watering aids trees during hot dry spells by reaching root zones. Lawn sprinklers often fail to moisten beneath grass. slow trickle under the tree effectively delivers moisture. Frequent shallow watering encourages shallow roots, while deep, infrequent watering strengthens drought resilience.

Coyotes Increasingly Common in Colorado Cities
Colorado residents and pets face higher coyote encounters as pups prepare to roam in spring. Coyotes breed in April and May, averaging five or six pups. Adults travel farther to feed, and urban coyotes can attack small pets when off leash or roaming.
